    AOC as the Democrat’s candidate seems like a path to another Trump-type Republican in the White House. There must be few Democrats the Republicans would prefer to face in a national election.

Even the worst Democrat is light years ahead of the best post-Trump Republican. There’s too much at stake and the world literally might not survive the consequences of the next Trump or Trump-like presidency.

        I think the point is that having a Democratic candidate that far to the left would push centrists towards voting for a Republican, and there are a fair few of them like Trump.

        Did you not read what I wrote? I said that AOC as the Democratic candidate means the Republican candidate has a much clearer route to win - she’s a candidate to appeal to the Democratic faithful, not one for the swing voters.
